Combine stacked BarSeries with LineSeries

[JW]

I would like to create a chart where a stacked BarSeries is combined with a LineSeries. The horizontal axis is Categorical and shows week numbers (Category), the vertical is Linear (Value). The example data is this:

            List<Data> barCollection = new List<Data>();
            barCollection.Add(new Data { Category = "Wk 1", Label = "Preperation", Value = 5 });
            barCollection.Add(new Data { Category = "Wk 2", Label = "Preperation", Value = 3 });
            barCollection.Add(new Data { Category = "Wk 3", Label = "Preperation", Value = 4 });
            barCollection.Add(new Data { Category = "Wk 1", Label = "Production", Value = 4 });
            barCollection.Add(new Data { Category = "Wk 2", Label = "Production", Value = 3 });
            barCollection.Add(new Data { Category = "Wk 3", Label = "Production", Value = 3 });

            List<Data> lineCollection = new List<Data>();
            lineCollection.Add(new Data { Category = "Wk 1", Label = "Project", Value = 8 });
            lineCollection.Add(new Data { Category = "Wk 2", Label = "Project", Value = 7 });
            lineCollection.Add(new Data { Category = "Wk 3", Label = "Project", Value = 4 });
            lineCollection.Add(new Data { Category = "Wk 1", Label = "QuoteAndProjects", Value = 8 });
            lineCollection.Add(new Data { Category = "Wk 2", Label = "QuoteAndProjects", Value = 9 });
            lineCollection.Add(new Data { Category = "Wk 3", Label = "QuoteAndProjects", Value = 7 });

The bar-items need to be stacked in each week. The line-items (Two lines, based on the Label) are separate from each other. They need to be shown in front of the bars, since they might not be visible otherwise.

I have found several simple examples of individual portions of this question, but the combination is what makes it difficult. Can anyone help me in the right direction?

Hi,

I have created a sample that shows how combine mode can be achieved with 3 barseries and 1 lineseries. Mainly you have to set the combinemode to stack or cluster to the series. 

Please download the attached file and give it a try.

I hope the provided information was helpful.

Thank you Didi.

Technically, this answered my question and enabled me to generate the chart I need. I have one more question though; Is it possible to do this with a SeriesProvider, so I can add and remove series later without having to change the xaml?

Hi,

I am afraid this scenario could not be achieved using SeriesProvider. 

I have attached sample of how seriesprovider could be used using line or barseries. 

If you want to add/remove different series to the chart I can suggest you place buttons above the chart to add/remove series to the chart.

another suggestion is described at the following link in our forum:  https://www.telerik.com/forums/dynamic-adding-of-different-type-of-series
